Start with your
hand sideways. If you are throwing to your non-throwhand side notice
you must turn your hand differently. Give a strong throw so the yo-yo
spins horizontally. Throwing to your throwhand side tightens the string
while throwing to your non-throwhand side loosens the string.

Bring your throwhand down almost
immediately and pinch the string just above the yo-yo. Raise it to
shoulder height.

Let the yo-yo go allowing it to grab the string
and return to your hand. It is important that you release it at shoulder
height so that it can better grab the string and return.
